“Statistically, a Scoresheet defensive rating point (indicated as a 100th) is equal to about 6 O+S points (which are the addition of two 1000ths). That is still fairly small if you compare the differences in O+S to the differences in the ratings at the same position. If you are comparing a fielder who is +0.05 above average in range factor to a guy who is -0.05, the weaker fielder need only hit 60 or 65 points higher in O+S to make up for it. In other words an .860 O+S player who is .05 below average is just as good as an .800 who is .05 above average at the same position.”

It’s what we always come back to in the postseason. The tournament doesn’t determine the best team, and it’s often not won by the best team. It does, however, identify a champion, and that champion is almost always the team that plays the best in the tournament. The Astros are the better team -- I’ll stand by that -- but the Nationals have outplayed them in this Series, and they have been the best team in the tournament.
